🧊 Geometry Components

Used to convert Grasshopper/Rhinoceros geometry into InForm-ready objects and manage how geometry is organised and presented on the platform.

Typical responsibilities include:

• Converting geometry into mesh-based layers
• Naming and grouping geometry into platform layers
• Applying materials and visual attributes
• Enabling geometry actions (e.g., visibility toggles, layer-level interactions)

📄️ Analysis Material (AM)

Create a predefined material optimized for analysis visualization in InForm The material supports vertex colours, uses analysis-friendly shading, and ensures clear, readable mesh output.

📄️ Geometry Layer (GL)

Convert Rhino geometry into an InForm mesh layer. This component is most performant when the input is already a mesh.

📄️ Inform Material (IF)

Create customizable material properties for InForm geometry, including colour, shading, metallic/roughness parameters, and vertex colour control.

📄️ Pipe Polyline (PP)

Create a lightweight pipe mesh around a curve by converting it to a polyline and generating a polygonal tube. This performs significantly better than Grasshopper’s native Pipe component when sending line geometry to InForm

📄️ Toggle Geometry (TG)

Show or hide geometry in the InForm interface using a toggle switch controlled by the user.
